The estimated error for both instrument and target miscentering errors is 3 mm. For the EDM in Problem 6.37, what is the estimated error in the observed distances?
Problem 6.37:
If an EDM instrument has a purported accuracy capability of ± (3 mm + 3 ppm),v what error can be expected in a measured distance of (a) 30 m (b) 1586.49 ft (c) 975.468 m? (Assume that the instrument and target miscentering errors are equal to zero.)
